Not really going to help Jeb’s chances since Lindsey’s support base is next to nothing… and the rest of Americans are sick of establishment Republicans.

Sen. Lindsey Graham is endorsing Jeb Bush this morning in North Charleston, S.C., giving a boost to Mr. Bush’s campaign in advance of the Feb. 20 South Carolina GOP presidential primary.

Messrs. Graham and Bush are holding a joint appearance at 9:45 a.m. EST, according to the Bush campaign. A Graham adviser confirmed the endorsement.

Mr. Graham dropped out of the presidential race just before Christmas, after a campaign in which he never gained much traction in the polls in spite of feisty performances in the second-tier debates. But Graham is a household name in South Carolina and has won every race he has run there for 23 years.
